Great service from this Garage. Very personable staff great information and explanation every step of the way. As a single woman did not feel unsure of honest quote which happens frequently and in fact felt very secure throughout the repair. Will certainly use again and would definitely recommend them. Thank you VRS.

Oil change fine. Follow-up jobs to hand brake and calipers were a joke. Returned twice to get hand brake sorted and ended up having to go somewhere else.
And calipers were put on rear wheels shoddily. Had to return as wheels were hot. Pins were discovered as being disintegrated on all four calipers by another garage - how they didn't notice that I have no idea.
The oil change was fine though.

well where do I start with my praise for everyone at VRS REPAIR SERVICES who go that extra mile to put their customers first, after being totally ripped off quote wise by the big high street exhaust companies one of which refused my car because the manifold bolts were seized,VRS came to my help within minutes of posting on the site, cost was quarter than the high street exhaust places and an extremely fast turnaround. before paying any expensive high street fitting centre costs give VRS a call you will not be dissappointed, am so pleased to find these guys. VRS = VALUE RELIABLE SERVICE.
Thank you VRS your a credit to the auto trade

Fantastic service. I had a phonecall immediately after asking for a quote. I was told they could do it the next day and come and collect my car and drop it off afterwards.
True to their word a man came prompt early the next morning and came back at the time stated with my clutch all done.
Would definitely use this garage again.

Here at Thirkell’s we are a family run business established in 1969 and have steadily grown over the years. We started from a workshop at Handel Street, Millfield, then moved our Car Sales Dept. to Hylton Road, next came our department at Stockton Road, which was our city centre MOT testing station.

Our latest expansion project saw us open a large, modern workshop, new class IV, V, and VII MOT test station, fast fit tyre and exhaust centre, spacious showroom and comfortable reception in Stobart Street next to the Stadium of Light.

Our workshops offer a full and comprehensive service for all cars, vans and light commercials. We offer everything from engine overhauls to oil changes, from clutches to computer codes and all work is carried out by our time served technicians.

Our workshops are fully equipped to handle all types of company fleet vehicles and control service schedules to your company’s individual needs. We are currently looking after local government fleets and many national lease company vehicles through the 1Link system.

If you need a reliable MOT service that you know you can count on, then you know you have come to the right place.

We understand that when you need a reliable garage, you need someone who can provide you with a very affordable service and you also need someone who can make any repairs you need in a very reasonable amount of time as well. This is one of the many things that we can do for you and we are always happy to assist and work with you if you ever have any questions or if you simply want to find out more about what we can do for you.

Of course, when you do get in touch with our team, it is important to understand that we will do just about anything for you and we won’t stop unless you are completely satisfied. It doesn’t matter whether you need a clutch repair or whether you need a complete car service, because we can do it all and more and at a price you can afford.

If you need an MOT for your car but you want to bring your car into us a little earlier so we can get any issues sorted out, then you know that we can do that for you as well and this is one of the many reasons why we continue to stand out from the rest.

If you would like to find out more about our services or if you would like to see how we can help you then all you have to do is get in touch with us. We would love to hear from you and we are waiting to take your call if car needs a repair, a service or even an MOT in the next week.

Rick is a first class mechanic.
He arrived on time, he was very polite and courteous.
Rick did a marvellous job of changing my front Brake discs and pads, even in the pouring rain.
Rick even went into the procedure with me personally, putting my mind at ease.
He also left everything neat and tidy as it was before he came.
I will recommend rick to anyone, and will definitely be using his services again.
